    MM CC plate install

    My car is a 93 LX 5.0, 5 speed hatch. I am in the process of installing MM CC plates on my car along with Tokico blues, Bullitt springs and poly ISO's. I am confused about the spacers. With the Bullitt springs should I go with 1 small spacer on top with 1 small spacer and 2 large spacers on...

    I need some advice

    2001 Bullitt shocks, quads and struts with approx 30k miles for $60. Will these be a direct bolt on to my 93, retaining the 170,000 stock springs? The reason I ask is because my car rides terrible now and I am looking for a cost effective solution until I am ready to install my suspension upgrades.

    What axles did you use?

    Now that I have calipers I have been looking into my next purchase to do the 5 lug conversion on my 93. I came across the Ford Racing M-2300-M kit for the rear. This would require me to run SN rear axles. I wondered how many of you are using SN length axles and how many of you are using Fox...

    Sometimes you get lucky

    September was a really good month for me as I came across the following items for sale and purchased them. 1. NIB loaded 10th anniversary Cobra front and rear calipers. 2. Tokico blues with 0 miles from a roller being built. Maybe living in DFW isn't so bad. :D

    Bullitt Springs

    After reading allot of different opinions about springs on here i decided to go with the "Bullitt" springs on my 93 LX. Thanks to Stang & 2 birds I had the correct part numbers to go into my local ford dealer parts guy with. He was able to order them for me. I though the price was a little...

    This past Sunday

    I was on my way to a charity car show that my Mom mentioned to me in my 93 LX. I pass a Tahoe and turn right and I notice in the rear view mirror that the Tahoe followed me around the corner cutting two lanes to do it. I am thinking this is just a typical Texas driver on the phone or something...

    Sold the 86 t-top

    Last Tuesday I sold the 86 t-top GT. It was sad to watch it drive away. I know it did go to someone who will take care of it and make it better. I just came to the decision that I had too many cars. I didn't want to be one of those people who will get around to it. I know some of you will not...

    I think theres something wrong with me

    I think that i am suffering from MBS (mustang buying syndrome). I recently bought an 88 gt t-top 5.0 auto. This makes three mustangs and my DD altima. It is a complete car. It will start if you spray carb cleaner in the throttle body. It smokes like a mosquito fogger when running. I don't...

    When I replaced the t-5 in my 93 this last time i had to cut a 1" section out of the smog tube that connects to the h-pipe due to the connection being welded on a previous replacement. I have read that you can use a high temp rubber hose and clamps to re-join the two but have not been able...

    Wiring Diagram?

    Recently I replaced the heater core in the 86. I had the dash completely out of the car. When I got everything back together the fuel gauge did not work. It did work when I took it apart. I did find one loose wire that splits from the harness on the passenger side next to the heater assembly. I...
